Is this akin to that kid who sold everything and bet on roulette red to double up? If OP was stopped out, would we be reading about a suicide?

Jesus, for those who don't get it:

Wolfy borrowed $2,000,000 from the missus (?), a world famous jelwer. With that money, plus some serious leverage (short term loans from your broker), he short-sold 30-year bonds. To short sell something mean to borrow it from someone, sell it, and at some point later buy it again and give it back. Its the opposite of buying something, in that you make money when the price drops. 30-year bonds closed 1/2 point lower than yesterday, and now wolfy is worth $1.4 mil more than he was yesterday.

Alles klar?

[/ QUOTE ]

Classic example of people who already have money basically not doing a damned thing and amassing more fortune.

What a scam capitalism is.

It doesn't seem like you're understanding that he actually did something.

That's not capitalism.

That's short selling on margin. The most degenerate form of gambling known to man.
